Mac powerbook 2.3 ghz intel

2009-12-05 Thread Geoff Black
Anyone give some insight

This book was dropped onto the corner where the power adapter couples  
up. (Small dent)
Powerbook works fine on 220vac supply but when running on battery  
power it shuts off without notice - running for up to 10 minutes.

I am under the suspicion theat the overheat protecter has come loose -  
but Mac shop insists the entire logic board be replaced.

The mac works fine on mains.

Any conclusions

 It would be helpful if you were able to tell the group exactly which  
 Apple laptop you have. There were no Intel PowerBooks, for example.  
 I'm guessing you have either a 15-inch or a 17-inch MacBook Pro with  
 an Intel 2.33 GHz processor.  Since there were internal as well as  
 external design differences, it would help to know exactly which  
 MacBook you've got.

 It sounds as if the Mac shop suspects that the charge circuit for  
 the battery got damaged.

Mac Mail

Another Anomaly

Every time I attach a jpeg or PDF to mac mail it changes the file size  
- wether send windows friendly is checked or not. When sending pix  
to pre-press
this causes great embarrasment.

I have to use thunderbird for that reason,but multiple mailboxes is  
not good for me.

Cannot see in the prefs anything that stops Mac Mail from enctrypting  
the attachment.

Entourage onMac - identity crisis

2009-11-30 Thread Geoff Black
Microsoft Entourage had built up a 16 Gb Identities folder in  
Entourage office 2004.
I upgraded to MSO 2008 and it transferred the identity to the new  
version.

None of the mail wants to open.

It reccomends a rebuild of the database when i try to re-import this  
file, but the identity or database will not list as a database in the  
MSO import dialogue box.

The installer of MSO 2008 deleted the older version od MSO - however I  
always have a backup.


To me the identity file of 16 Gb is far too big. When i try to copy  
the database it reports a corrupt file. and stops copying.

How do I get my mail back.

This is the only mac I have used entourage on. Is there anyway of  
disecting the file found in UsersUSERNAME DocumentsMICROSOFT USER  
DOCSIDENTITIES


This runs a Powerbook - 2.3 Ghz DC intel, 250gb hdd and OS X 10.4 9.

MSO was 2004 upgraded to MSO 2008

Import identity database fails.

 An anomaly indeed. According to Mail Help,

 When you attach images to a message, Mail displays
 the total size of the message and all attached images
 at the bottom of the message window. If your message
 exceeds the maximum size allowed by your email provider,
 the message size appears in red, along with the allowed
 limit (when Mail is able to get that information from
 the email provider).

 Are you seeing the adjusted file sizes before the message
 is sent or is the recipient complaining that the received
 file is wrong?

 What version of Mail are you using?

 In addition to Geoff's advice, in Mail 3 (at least) there's a drop
 down menu at the bottom of the window that appears when you attach or
 drop in a photo. It defaults to 'Medium Size', but you can select
 'Actual Size' from the menu.

 You do still have to be aware that most ISP's place a limit on the
 size of individual email messages.

 This is why printing houses generally maintain FTP servers for people
 to upload their files.

 How so - details please!?

 What vers CCC?
 Leopard - fully updated or ?

 What am I doing wrong or is Leopard not copyable in bootable form
 with CCC from iBook G4?

 CCC works just find on Leopard.  Without details, we really can't
 tell what's wrong.

 How do  I make a bootable backup for emergencies?

 Use CCC.

 Did you actually run CCC?  And get an error message?   What was the
 error message exactly?  And what does it say in CCC's log?

RIP needed

2009-11-15 Thread Geoff Black
Anyone have or know where I can get a rip for my encad 880.

The printer is 6 yrs old and newer rips do not support it
aside from being extremely expensive ...(for whatever reason)...


At the time I had a wasatch 4.5 rip, but my cd has degarded and wont  
install.

It seems that Wasatch, onyx, posterjet... will all work but they need  
to be oldishversions to support this model.

Re: Midi interfaces. Was: Question about USB ports?

Pre Sonus make a good firewire interface for midi.  Firewire 400 and

I use it on CME keyboard - works on G4 MDD and Tiger - also runs on  
G5 quad.

 Midi would be faster.

 This is a timely reply, Paul. I was just going to ask a question.

 I'm an Ableton Live user. My studio setup is XP PC based because  
 it was available, and I needed something that would take the 5V PCI  
 interface card for an M-Audio Delta 1010 audio/midi interface. This  
 all works fine and because I ONLY use XP with the one program, it  
 doesn't get in the way. The midi timing is always perfect.

 But I need an additinal mobile setup. I had hoped to use my trusty  
 12 G4 867MHz Aluminum PowerBook, at least for just driving my midi  
 sound modules (I'm old-school), which shouldn't take much CPU power.

 I bought a Turtle beach USB midi interface (One in, one out) which  
 works but the timing goes off sporadically. I was wondering if this  
 is because it's only a usb 1.1 interface on the PowerBook or if it  
 was a CPU power issue, or just a bad interface. The interface just  
 uses the built-in Apple drivers (Tiger).

 The shame is that the PB has a FW400 interface which would be MUCH  
 faster so if it's just the usb speed then a FireWire midi interface  
 would be great. But I can't find one that isn't an Audio/midi  
 interface which is more than I need.

 Is anybody else doing this sort of thing? Anybody got any  
 recommendations for a FireWire Audio/midi interface (but mainly for  
 the midi)? I'd love to press the old PB G4 but into regular use.

 Cheers

 This major release introduces many new features, new formats and new

 I haven't noticed yet what the differences are from the 0.9 releases,

Mac Blackouts are usually hardware related and often usb related. If  
the dead usb port is not shorting check to see if it is damaged.
USB's die from usb female plugs being forced in reversed. It can be  
done. you may want to desolder the outlet.
Run the mac on a separate account with minimal add-ons - this should  
prove stable if not

Double click on all hard discs - if they do not respond immediately  
check that sleep hard discs is off and check again... a drive may  
be on its way out.
Then check ram - by softcheck if u have the software like tech tool,  
else remove most starting with minimum ram.
Check by replacing external usb / fw cables.

Re: Powermac MDD crashing

2009-07-06 Thread Geoff Black
Are u sure the disk is bootable... did u rec. a disk image?
Also how does the mac get 1.38gb ram -?

I am beginning to think you might start by backing up and looking  
toward a new system.

Heres what I would recommend.

Boot with Tiger os disc and see if there are not any unrepairable  
errors. If so install a new system
and archive the older one. When you repair permissions or the drive -  
the disk utility sometimes crashes or redlines the fact it is  
unrepairable.

Also check the other drives while you are at it.
What Does About this Mac report on the usb ports anything odd?

seriously though... start thinking of a new os.

 Have a G5 Quad - wont boot.

 Subject line says Quad 2.7GHz but the only quad was 2.5GHz, the 2.7
 is a dual that's air cooled. I'm assuming since you say yours is
 water cooled, you likely have the 2.5GHz quad.

 If your G5 Power Supply is listed in the serial #'s included in this
 group you need to take it to an Apple Store and they'll fix it free:
